Publisher's summary

Faced with darkness, could you find the light?

An innocent victim. A wicked crime. A killer on the loose.

Meet Sister Veronica Angelica, a secret crime fiction writer and lover of custard cream biscuits.

When she discovers a dead man in the grounds of the Catholic Youth Hostel, a building next door to her Convent, she can see he's been brutally murdered. What she doesn't know is that Jamie had a secret he'd been about to confess.

Being forbidden by the Cardinal to contact the police, the nuns at The Convent of the Christian Heart are instructed to contain news of the murder.

As Sister Veronica tries to uncover the truth, another murder takes place, plunging her deeper into the mystery.

But when her investigation raises more questions than answers, will Sister Veronica be able to solve the case without attracting the killer's attention?

Tired of the trope

I only got through one chapter of this novel. I had high hopes but was completely turned off by the heretical protagonist who orays to the "pact of love between the multiverse and herself". And in the same first chapter are slimy priests. No thanks. I realize that this is about a mystery, but I'm tired of these tired, cliched tropes. Give me a faithful nun and godly priests for a change, and then there might be some interesting characters worth reading about. Four stars for a good narrator. Three stars because I didn't listen to much.
